Halloween broom treats

Happy friday!

Bringing you a fun and easy treat idea for Halloween,

whether for friends, teachers, class parties, littles

or luncheons.  This is a cute one!

I started with stick pretzels, black and white straws,

some 3 x 2" bags and some ribbon.

Start by filling up your little baggie with the pretzels,

insert the straw to the bottom of the bag leaving the 

"broom" handle sticking out of the top and tie off

with your ribbon.

Like this......

Now,  I know a lot of individuals don't celebrate halloween

so hers is an alternative for you. 

I purchased these bark looking straws on Amazon to

give the broom a autumn vibe. So if the Halloween

version isn't you try it this way. 

Either way is cute!

Have a fun weekend giving these a try! 

Halloween diy soap

Let's start with some soap,

I chose dial foaming soap, you can choose whichever

brand you like. 

I went online and found this cute ghost image

that I printed out to put on the front of these

soap containers.

 I used the big shot machine and the oval dies to cut out the 

the image.  Use some adhesive to attach to the front of the container. 

Add a little ribbon or baker's twine to finish it off.

Here you go! So cute! 

Halloween tic tac treats

Head to your dollar tree for a pack of tic tacs and these cute little mini glass halloween jars. 

Look at how cute these little apothecary bottles are,

each one is a little different.

I filled each one with the tic tacs,

they are so cute and will be fun to gift to friends

for Halloween. 

I might add a little rafia around the lid of the 

bottle to add a little flare and fun. 

Have fun making some of these!

wedding gift ideas

Happy friday!

Heading to a special wedding this weekend and wanted

to gift the bride and groom with a memorable gift.

I bought a bottle of wine and removed the label, 

then took a photo of them and sized it to fit the bottle

and printed it out and adhered it to the bottle.

I love how it turned out!

Next up I purchased a framed and ordered a picture of the couple

to center in the frame.  I used their invite, some raw edged ribbon, lace

and made a blue wax seal in blue.  I arranged it within the frame

and wrapped it all up. 

On the back I added a scripture card,

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgive each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32

Halloween Decor

Muuuwwaaaaahhh!

Back with a spooky idea to decorate your guest shower.

My downstairs bathroom shower rarely gets used

and looked bare, so I decided that it would be fun

to put a little stool inside the shower and add

a jack-o-lantern with a battery operated candle.

I love how it turned out! 

Plain shower just waiting to be spooked up!

I added this cute little stool I picked up at Homegoods,

the faux jack-o-lantern I have had for years.

You can find them at Michael's or even Amazon.

Add a battery operated candle and there you go!

It's fun to walk in to use the restroom and see him

glowing from the shower!

It's the little things.....

Wooden Christmas tags

Look at these adorable wooden tags,

I found these at Hobby Lobby, 12 for $2.50.

Thesy even have the cute little beads attached.

I used a small christmas tree stamp stamped in Garden Green.

I was also able to find a small tree to stamp on them and added

some gold glitter once they dried. 

If you don't have a small tree stamp you can look through

your stamp collection to find something just as cute.

Happy stamping! 

Christmas tags

Happy saturday!

It's never too early to start your christmas cards and tags!

Bored? recuperating from something? stuck in the house?

here you go!

Make some christmas tags!

These tags are super easy, just cut out the vintage santa image

and mount on any designer scrapbook paper then mount onto

some cardstock and add your baker's twine. 

Love the look of these ole' world charm santas,

you can make these for yourself, package them up

for gifts for friends or co-worker and add a roll of wrapping

paper to gift someone.  Who wouldn't like to receive wrap and tags.

Makes a great teacher holiday gift as well.  

This pack of scrapbook paper come with the images you see, you just

need cardstock and baker's twine to complete. 

Here is the link for the paper....

Dahlia's

Happy wednesday!

Sharing some of the beauty of my garden today.

Do you like dahlia's?

I absolutely love growing them, all the different colors and styles.

The anticipation of them coming up! 

Here's just a few of my bouquet's made with my daily gathering.

The fall colors are my favorite!

Do you see the one maroon dahlia above?

It's called Karma Choc and it is the only dahlia that

has a scent, and it smells like chocolate!  

yes!  it's true~ so delish!

These are a just a small sampling of some of the dahlia's 

in my garden.....

Do you have dahlia's

diy decoupage plate

Happy monday!

Here's a fun craft for you right out of the archives.

We used to make these all the time for creative classes.

These plates can be found at the dollar tree and the napkins I found at 

HomeGoods. 

Start by taking a napkin and peeling it apart so that the napkin is separated from the lining. 

Take your glass plate, sponge brush and mod podge,

slowly add mod podge once you have the plate covered.

Gently add the napkin and spread it across the plate.

Add the napkin. 

You images should be showing on the reverse side of the plate.

Once you have it in place carefully add just a little bit of 

mod podge to the back, now let dry. 

Once dry it will look like this, begin to cut around 

the edge of the plate to removed the rough edges. 

Here it is all done!  so cute!

Remember, these plates are NOT dishwashing.

Have fun crafting!
